Mimas is one of the innermost moons of Saturn.Mimas was a Titan who was slain by Hercules.William Herschel discovered the moon in 1789. The surface is icy and heavily cratered.Mimas has a low density, meaning it probably consists mostly of ice.Because Mimas has such a low temperature of about-200°C(-328°F), the impact features may date back to the time of the moon's creation. One of the craters, named Herschel, is surprisingly large in comparison to the size of the moon. The crater is 130 kilometers (80 miles) wide, one-third the diameter of Mimas. Herschel is 10 kilometers (6 miles) deep, with a central mountain almost as high as Mount Everest on Earth. This central peak rises 6 kilometers (4 miles) above the crater floor. This impact probably came close to disintegrating the moon. Traces of fracture marks can be seen on the opposite side of Mimas. Great work!!!

The clouds on Saturn needs to be changed to a beige-like color. I have also seen a photo side-by-side comparison of how Mimas strongly resembles the Death Star from Star Wars.

Great image. Was Mimas created in Bryce or is it a photograph? Thanks for the info, sim3344. Thechnogeek is quite right. Saturn looks rather like Uranus. Good image composition.

Thank you all for your feedback and comments. I did have the ringed planet in beige, but it just didn't have a good color blend...."sometimes I guess we must step away from reality"...Hehe. Mimas was created in Bryce with no postwork. All my art posted in the Bryce gallery with the exception of 'Classic Beauty" posted way back in '02 (about the time i first started using Bryce)has no post work. I try to use Bryce for what it's worth and have fun with it. Ciao!
